    Notes : Amazing what you get over the radio sitting on a bench out on a nice day


    Quality is IEM like, and there is a clicktrack.

    One request from the taper:

    Things seem to still be moving along, new face, new shows, new low key radio broadcasts...Here is another, my only request and I rarely have requests is I do not want to see some 14 page annoying thread at interference about what these three new songs turned into, sound like or whatever, please spare us that, unless you actually have real knowledge towards these tracks (then post it below)..That kind of stuff makes U2 fans look like they need to get out of the house more.
    That being said usually "new songs" are just kind of jams where each guy plays on top of each other doing their own thing and not much interesting comes out of them..in fact the first two with no names appeared many times that first month of elevation tour in roughly the same form..And with words like Scat bat Flap Jack Scooby Snap Rat Tat (Bono Scat Singing) they are hard to listen to.

    Now I must say though I loved "coffee shop", one Bono actually gave a name to after the song, and it came out of nowhere and then never again was repeated as far as we can tell (and well we can tell, the park bench radio network)..It was really cool and faded to oblivion (or at least was never played again in an arena setting). It was some kind of a mercy, unforgettable fire type sounding thing. Now that your interest is peaked, go get it

    Sometimes you wonder what we would fall in love with if we ever actually heard it. Do they deny us more due to their own insecurities or bad outside influences (Howie B, guys can that it doesnt sound Pet shop Boys enough) than they actually give us in the end

    tapers location is where the A is (if the A is still on there, between the bubble roof and the water)

    Very interesting bootleg, maybe not for the archive, but you have to at least listen to it once

  2. For an IEM, the sound is actually quite good.

    The three unknown songs (1, 2 and Coffee Shop) are potentially good ideas but probably went absolutely nowhere and the band forgot about them. The first New Year's Day with just Adam sounds like they're trying out the beginning of The Sweetest Thing for the show later that night.

    Listen to the second Unknown Song, how that sounds. Thanks for this!
  3. Thanks

  4. Never heard this before! very cool! thanks for sharing it
  5. Are there any covers for this Boot?



  6. I haven't found Albumart for this one. It's pretty new so it may take a while, I don't time to make one. Its pretty easy though.

    Size is 12cm*12cm for the front. A perfect square. With some copy and pasting you can end up with someting good looking. Have a look at the photo section for amazing pictures.
